Thoughts can actually become experiences

Yes, I blogged about thoughts not being facts and that is true, and yet as watching The Secret by Rhonda Byrne it reminded me that thoughts and feelings can become experiences.

Something I know with Gracie is that she would regularly love to get up in the morning and say “Auntie LaLa Wake up! Auntie LaLa Wake up!” here enthusiasm for the day ahead that she didn’t know what adventure she would be taking was such a thrill to her.

As an adult I know that we often need to be reminded about what to look forward to, we all need Gracie to remind us the joys to discover in the world. For so most of my life I have been having to deal with horrendous attacks and yet as a teenager I would set myself things before sleep to look forward to the next day. That used to help a lot and I sometimes re-engage with that so that I can somehow tune into Gracie’s thrill and joy of expectation of the day ahead.

She knew and still knows that wherever we go, whatever we do I will make it fun for her and I hope some day soon to see her again it has been almost 2 years since I last saw her in person. Thankfully she knows how much I love her and miss her. When she recited the words I wrote in her 8th Birthday card “I love you now and always, Auntie LaLa” she then said “Awww” she is such a delight and so much fun. And something I will share tomorrow is about bullying. It is in the press a lot about young girls being targeted and that truly appalls me that it still is going on, this is something I will be taking part in the conversation, because it is essential to talk about this rather than join the silence of the schools.

Gracie being serious about having fun… a lesson for us all
